Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I get most 3D models form here

http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/default.aspx

And occasionally have to use Altium to create a model although it's 3D modelling is very primitive.

I have Sketchup and like it, but don't think it can export to STEP.

I also occasionally convert IGES to STEP with FreeCAD, I must look to see if FreeCAD can import Sketchup.

The new schematics look really nice IMO. I also usually split large chips up, there are pros and cons but overall I think it's easier to find stuff.
